!DarkHorse/Docs/Future
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
DarkHorse things to do & things I'd like it to do. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ . saving user settings of all savers. . extending the fileformat. . being able to choose sleep/nosleep corners. . more savers ! . redesigning the argument input so that inputs are via mouse control, and the icons for these selection are generated at runtime. . coding the entire saver kernel in assembly and install it as a module, for speed and even less memory usage. . integrating useful desktop utilities into DarkHorse. . and much much more (as they say) ... __________________________________________________________________________
